Responsibilities
Lead the decomposition of complex, cross-functional business processes (supply chain, logistics, procurement, distribution) to expose structural inefficiencies, wrong-node allocation, mode-mix issues, and escalation drivers
Independently facilitate workshops, interviews, and discovery sessions with senior client stakeholders. Build trusted advisor relationships and drive difficult conversations with confidence
Convert business findings into clear, actionable requirements for Solutions Architects and Data Engineers, ensuring operational constraints and business logic are accurately reflected in technical blueprints
Own and independently drive one or more delivery lanes end-to-end: planning, client communication, deliverable production, risk escalation, and progress reporting, without requiring day-to-day direction
Collaborate with Solutions Architects to define current-state and target-state process and system architectures, applying structured analytical frameworks (Lean Six Sigma, root cause analysis, hypothesis-driven problem solving) to validate transformation opportunities
Produce enterprise-grade analytical deliverables (process maps, value stream analyses, opportunity assessments, business cases, use case definitions) that drive client decision-making and investment
Mentor and support junior Business Analysts and consultants, helping them develop the skills to independently run sessions, produce deliverables, and manage client interactions
Qualification
Required
6+ years of management consulting experience at a Big Four, tier-two, or leading boutique firm, with a track record of leading operations strategy, business transformation, or value chain reinvention engagements. Ideally at the Senior Manager or Director level
Demonstrated ability to independently own executive-level client relationships, facilitate workshops with senior stakeholders, and drive conversations that move programs forward without senior oversight
Strong foundation in structured problem-solving methodologies (Lean Six Sigma, root cause analysis, value stream mapping). Black Belt certification or equivalent practical depth is strongly preferred
Experience across multiple industries and geographies at a senior level. Supply chain, logistics, energy, or healthcare experience is a strong plus, but we value the ability to ramp quickly in unfamiliar domains and cross-pollinate best practices across sectors
Experience mapping and transforming end-to-end value chains, not just isolated processes. You see how operational decisions ripple across procurement, logistics, distribution, and financial performance
You do not need to write code, but you must engage meaningfully with Solutions Architects and Data Engineers on topics like data schemas, system integrations, ERP landscapes, and AI/ML model requirements
Comfort utilizing AI tools (LLM assistants, agentic workflows) to accelerate research, analysis, and deliverable production. You see AI as a force multiplier for consulting, not a novelty
Ability to thrive in rapid, hypothesis-driven sprint cycles (12-week engagement models) where the focus is on validation experiments and speed to insight rather than traditional, slow IT delivery
